Sen. Denise Batters is back in the federal Conservative caucus following the ouster of Erin O’Toole as party leader.
O’Toole had booted Batters out of the caucus in November after she launched a petition to review his leadership in the wake of the party’s failure to defeat the Liberals in the September 2021 election.
O’Toole had defended the removal of Batters, saying her calls to probe his leadership showed a “a clear lack of respect.”
